Based on his informative post, today I followed some of Bill Kaempfer's steps from his NE Colo trip last weekend. He was right about Jumbo Res shorebird habitat. Near the middle of the south end there's a small peninsula with a brown building/gray roof, I drove past it and parked near the tip. On the east side a nonbreeding plumage Ruddy Turnstone was busy turning over...stones.
I saw two Semipalmated Plovers and three Sanderlings, large numbers of sandpipers - Least, Spotted, Baird's, Semi-palmated, and Pectoral. At the far southwest corner (Sedgewick Co I believe) there were the above-mentioned sandpipers plus Stilt Sandpipers and two Marbled Godwits.
On the way back I saw two Bell's Vireos at Tamarack Ranch SWA (Logan Co) at west side parking area 1, right where Bill had 8 last Sunday. I looked extensively around the county for Upland Sandpipers over a wide area for quite some time, did not see any.
